If you're paying attention in your statistics class, you know that about 68% of the data lies within one standard deviation of the mean. That is, between
.. 20.6 -2.2 = 18.4
and
.. 20.6 +2.2 = 22.8
Selection A is appropriate.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that RS and TV bisect each other at point X
Join RT and VS
Now we have two triangles RXT and VXS with a common vertex X
Compare these two triangles
RS=XS (mid point since bisect)
TX=XV (mid point)
Angle RXT = Angle VXS (vertically opposite angles)
Hence by SAS postulate the two triangles are congruent
Corresponding angles would be equal
i.e. angle RTV = Angle TVS
Since alternate angles made by a transversal are equal
TR is parallel to SV
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Given g(x) then g(x + a) is a horizontal translation of g(x)
• If a > 0 then a shift to the left of a units
• If a < 0 then a shift to the right of a units
h(x) = g(x - 3) = (x - 3)² with a < 0
The graph of h(x) is the graph of g(x) horizontally shifted right 3 units
Didn't you mean y = ax^2? "^" denotes "exponentiation."
The first derivative of y = ax^2 represents the slope of the tangent line to the curve of y = ax^2. Here, dy/dx = 2ax. When x = 2, dy/dx = 2a(2) = 4a.
The point of tangency is (2,y), where y = a(2)^2, or y=4a; thus, the point of tangency is (2,4a). The equation of the tangent line to y=ax^2 at (2,4a) is found by (1) differentiating y=ax^2 with respect to x, (2) letting x = 2 in the result: dy/dx = 2ax => dy/dx (at 2,4a) = 2a(2) = 4a
The line 2x + y = b is supposed to be tangent to y = ax^2 at (2,4a).
The slope of 2x + y = b is found by solving 2x + y = b for y:
y = b - 2x => slope m = -2
Thus, dy/dx = 4a = - 2, and thus a = -2/4, or a = -1/2. All we have to do now is to find the value of b. We know that 2x + y = b, so if x=-2 and y=-8,
2(-2) + [-8] = b = -4 - 8 = -12
Thus, the equation of the parabola is y = ax^2 = (-1/2)x^2.
a = -2 and b = -8 are the required a and b values.
